Today we unveiled a ceremonial street renaming at 3rd and I Street, SW after Lenora Baker, five years after her passing. Lenora was a beloved member of the Southwest community, deeply engaged at Westminster, always an advocate for her community.

I’ve spoken with heads of HSEMA & DDOT. An update: - 1,100+ reports of tree damage have come in. Many are duplicates, but about 400 individual trees seriously damaged - Wards 6 &7 seeing biggest impact - DDOT hard at work prioritizing 20+ crews responding, but this will take days

“I think one of her biggest legacies that will carry on is that she’s the Book Lady. There are a lot of kids growing up in D.C. right now — they may know ... her music, but what they really know is that she delivers a book once a month.” — @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social on Dolly Parton's local impact

An unserious & unsafe proposal. A Congressman from Wisconsin has nothing they can do to make life a little more affordable or a little bit better for their own constituents, so they spend their time trying to repeal helmet laws for motorcycles in DC? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

GOP lawmakers move to scrap D.C.’s motorcycle helmet law as road deaths rise

One sponsor calls motorcycles a “symbol of freedom.” Safety experts say scrapping the helmet mandate would come at a deadly cost.

It’s a unanimous vote for the RESALE Act! Without a doubt, this is the most pro-fan, pro-consumer law in the country. The resale system has been rigged against our residents, our artists, & our venues. Everyone has been getting ripped off & that changes with today’s vote!
